Word of Mouth Marketing- It's not new. Remember the "I told two friends, and they told two friends" commercial from the 1980's? That's word of mouth marketing. Since the invention of the internet, WOM marketing has been amplified.
There are companies that connect consumers with companies and products looking to market directly to a specific cross-section of the population. What does that mean for you? Sign up with one or all of the companies below and when they have products that someone like you would like and use, and they will have you complete a brief survey and send you the product.
Often times, the product they will send you will be full size. Additionally, they will send marketing materials with talking points for you to share with friends. Depending on the product, samples and coupons may be included!
WOM companies I work with are:
BzzAgent
Houseparty
Smiley360
I encourage you to check these companies out and if they look interesting, sign up. You'll be surprised at the cool stuff that you'll get to share with friends and family!

Weekend Round Up!
I had a great time at my monthly coupon meet up. I got to meet Josie from Southern Cali Saver, which is a FABU blog for deals! When I got home, my mailbox was BURSTING! I received my P&G sampler today, which samples from Always, Herbal Essences, Crest Whitestrips, and a HUGE book of coupons! No pics today, my camera is MIA.
I also received coupons from Meow Mix, including a free product coupon. MEOW!!
And last, but not least, I received my Philips Satin Perfect Epilator from BzzAgent. It's charging right now, but you can expect pics and a post all about it in a few days.
I'll be doing a giveaway next week- so stay tuned. Coupons, Coupons, Coupons will be the prize!

- Southwestern Trumpets
- Cream Puffs and Magic Shell!
- The Southwestern Style Chicken Trumpets didn't last 5 minutes. The boys at the party scooped them up and dipped them in sour cream mixed with salsa. They were flaky and loaded with chicken, peppers and cheese!
- I added pepperonis to the top of the Margherita pizza (Boys love meat on their pizzas). It was crispy, but the sliced little tomatoes made it a little soggy in the middle, but a few extra minutes in the oven and it was very crispy. THe boys commented on the yummy balls of cheese on the pizza and how it was a great appetizer!
- The Cream Puffs were so good we didn't get a chance to thaw them! I dipped them in magic shell and it made them even more decadent!

I've had sensitive skin since I was a kid. Red, blotchy, dry skin. There have been lots of products that I have missed out on trying because my skin is just that sensitive.

The joys of overage at Wal*Mart
I'm not a regular Wal*mart shopper, however, there was a great coupon this week available online that lead to some amazing overage*!
Coupons.com had a coupon for $6.00/2 Schick Disposable razors. Walmart had packages of disposable razors for just $1.97 each, which leaves $2.06 in overage*!
Forgive me for the lack of photos, we're still unpacking and the cameras are MIA.
I used only 1 $6.00/2 per transaction. I left the second coupon at home accidentally, so I *had* to go back.
Trip 1:
Razors $1.97
Razors $1.97
Snickers Bar .74
Nature's Own Bread $2.98
English Muffins $2.50 (Per Hubby's request!)
-$6.00/2 Razor Q (from Coupons.com)
- .74 Free Candy Q (From M&M/Mars Random Acts of Chocolate Facebook Campaign)
- 2.98 Free Loaf of Nature's Own Bread (BzzAgent Coupon)
Total .44
Tax .31 (Tax is on the pre-coupon amount in CA)
TOTAL OOP .75
Trip 2:
Razors $1.97
Razors $1.97
Garnier Hair color $6.47
Hazelnut Creamer $3.68 (we were out of creamer and we really needed it- so the overage was very helpful!!)
-$6.00/2 Razor Q (from Coupons.com)
- $7.99 (Free hair color coupon from Garnier Facebook campaign)
Total .1o
Tax .81 (Tax is on the pre-coupon amount in CA)
TOTAL OOP .91
*For those new to couponing, overage is when the amount of the coupon exceeds the price of the item and there is a negative balance. Wal-Mart doesn't give cash back for overage, but you can use that negative balance to buy other items with little or no Out of Pocket.

Nature's Own Bread Review
(Disclosure- I am a BzzAgent and I received a coupon for a free loaf of Nature's Own bread, however all the opinions are mine).
Let me just say how excited I was when BzzAgent asked me to be a part of their Nature's Own Campaign. Since the baby came six months ago, I am trying to get us to eat better. I want our son to be exposed to a healthy diet, and I still have some baby weight to lose!
Nature's Own Bread is free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors and high fructose corn syrup. My favorite part about all of the Nature's Own Breads is that they are high in fiber! There are tons of varieties, including breakfast breads and Sandwich thins (which make great breakfast sandwiches!)
Check out the Nature's Own Facebook page. Enter to win a reusable grocery bag and a coupon for a free loaf of bread. Or, if you don't have Facebook, check out the Nature's Own website for more info!
